Quarterback

Derek Carr, Raiders ($6,500): What Derek Carr has been doing this season has been impressive on a weekly basis. The Raiders may well have the best offense in the NFL, but they’re in the conversation if not. Carr’s arm and connection with Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree is a big part of that. While the Chiefs defense (Oakland’s Week 6 opponent) can create turnovers, they’re vulnerable to getting lit up. Carr should be a top-priced quarterback, so this value is tremendous.

Marcus Mariota, Titans ($6,100): Yes, I’m fully aware that Marcus Mariota has largely been disappointing this season, not living up to preseason expectations and all. However, he finally started finding the end zone last week. Now he has the Browns defense without Joe Haden to go up against. Give me all of the second-year quarterback.

Dak Prescott, Cowboys ($5,900): Though it took him a while to throw his first career touchdown pass, Dak Prescott is rolling now. And considering that the Packers have a great run defense, the rookie QB might have the ball in his hands a bit more than usual. The Green Bay secondary remains banged up and I like the Dallas youngster to dice them up.

Brock Osweiler, Texans ($5,400): Brock Osweiler hasn’t done much to inspire confidence this season. That being said, the Colts defense is even less inspiring. I think that the Texans quarterback is able to have his best game of the season and really tear the Colts up—something that defense is accustomed to.
